Give me your best Parker House rolls recipe/technique

I’m not help but these are absolutely amazing.

Here's a good one (by virtue of comments here) from the Recipe Collection:

Cajunate's Soft Sweet Light Rolls

2 packages or 2 T yeast
½ c warm water
2 tsp sugar
1 cup hot water
1 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
1/3 cup oil
¾ cup sugar
3 tsp salt
7 to 8 cups flour ( Start with 7 cups, then as you’re mixing it add more flour till the dough is just a touch dry, and not too sticky.)

Put in bowl together to let yeast activate: the yeast, ½ cup warm water and 2 teaspoons sugar.

Mix in separate bowl: the hot water, milk, eggs and oil.

Mix in another separate large bowl: ¾ sugar, 3 teaspoons salt and the flour.

Mix two bowls of wet ingredients together.

Make a hole in the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients in.

Either mix by hand or mixer dough hook. Rolls will be lighter and fluffier if you use your dough hook.

Cover and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm non drafty area.

Spray your pan or pans with cooking spray.You need a pan with sides like a casserole dish or large cake pan.

Roll your dough into golf ball size balls and place about ¾ inch apart in pans.

This should make 2½ dozen rolls.

Cover and let raise again for 1-2 hours till they at least triple in size.

Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown. When you take them out you can brush butter over them if you like.

Just looked at the BF recipe, not enough yeast IMO.

I would look at yeast roll recipes instead of Parker House Rolls. They tend to be better for making dinner rolls.

I like those frozen yeast rolls you have to let defrost for hours. I want to say they're in an orange bag.

Pillsbury Hot Roll mix is perfect, easy for holiday cooking. Form to 1/2 the size desired, let them double in size before baking.

We also take this dough and put sausage inside to make quick klobasneks

Go to your local grocer and by a bag of frozen parker house roll dough balls - whatever brand they sell. They need to be thawed, allowed to rise and baked per package directions. We use them from Kroger here and from a mom and pop grocer - two different brands The downside is they are frozen and must be thawed wilt no decent option to the time it takes to do that, but they are good. You may find that is the best solution on a busy cooking day when you are probably doing lots of other stuff. They can be thawed a day or two ahead in the fridge, but follow package directions and cook then once before the big family dinner day so you will know how it goes.

I will say it is fun to cook 12 of them and then watch TV while you eat all of them. Call it QC testing.

Rhodes? If so, I like them too.
